Trinity Church of Lake Nona

Live Backward: Learning to Live in Light of the End Introduction to Ecclesiastes  This week we are starting a new series on Ecclesiastes titled “Live Backward: learning to live in light of the end.” The title of this series is a playful spin on Lake Nona’s motto: Live Forward.  Ecclesiastes is one of the Bible’s great gifts…

A tower for worship gone wong… Join us as we unpack the story of Babel and get below the surface of the people’s diobedience. We see how nearly every aspect of how God’s people sinned is reversed in the New Testament in Acts at Pentacost, and ultimately in heaven. Ben and Cynthia again invite you…

A Grace-Saturated Culture, part 3  Matthew 6:13 “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…”  Creating a culture where we fight to delight Psalm 28 You have to cry out to him for help (1-2).  You have to name your enemies (3-5).  You have to fight to delight and give thanks (6-7).  You…

You will never look at a rainbow the same way again… Join us as we unpack the meaning behind Noah’s name and see how things as simple as an ark and a rainbow can so directly and beautifully point to Jesus.  Ben and Cynthia again invite you around their kitchen table as they discuss chapter 4…

Yes, I know. Cynthia was right. Thanks to everyone who let me know. For this week we have moved! Out of the kitchen and into the office for the podcast. Join us as we chat about Genesis 2-3 and our 4-fold brokenness: Spiritual Personal Relational Environmental

(This audio includes our sermon on Psalm 51, our prayer time for Cathy Garrett and her family, and the final two songs: Cornerstone and It is Well.) Sermon Notes A Grace-Saturated Culture, part 2  Matthew 6:12 Creating a culture of generous dependance  and regular repentance  “Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors…” …

Join Ben and Cynthia around their kitchen table as they discuss chapter two of The Promised One. 

As we continue our series on the Lord’s prayer, we move into a new section. The goal of the next three petitions is to shape the culture that Jesus desires for his family. We are calling this a “Grace-Saturated” culture. And in this first petition we hear a request that God will make us into…

Join Ben and Cynthia around their dinner table as they discuss Luke 24, the passage for our first week of Men’s and Women’s Bible Study.

In this sermon Julio Cruz focuses on Luke 11 and shows us that: God is more interested in what we are becoming than in what we are getting.

“I was a dark and stormy night…” Actually, right now…things are eerily calm. (I am writing this early on Sunday morning.)  I guess this is the calm before the storm.  This is nice…but is it possible to experience the calm before the storm, during the storm?  I think Mark 4:35-41 is a perfect passage to…

This Sunday we will look at the first petition of the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9.Hallowed be Thy name…  The first petition is our first priority.  But what does it mean to hallow God’s name?  John Calvin put it beautifully:  he said to hallow God’s name means to have your entire heart captivated by wonderment for God.  To…

This week we are beginning a new series on the Lord’s prayer.  The Lord’s prayer is probably the series of words that have been repeated more than any other words in human history. It can be memorized by children. It can be repeated in less than a minute. And it can reorient your desires, refocus…

In this sermon we conclude our series in Revelation. Here we see Jesus exposing a church who had a great reputation, but not the life to back it up. Jesus exposes the gap between their reputation and their reality. The gap between their outward appearance and their inward reality. Key theme: what do we do…

In this sermon we look at the churches of Thyatira and Pergamum. Here we see the good, the bad, and the ugly, of two churches and hear Jesus call to be dedicated to sound doctrine. Main point: The church in Thyatira was loving, but their loving was undiscerning and blindly affirming…and Jesus is not pleased.

In this sermon we look at two churches who are about to enter into very difficult circumstances and they are called to stay faithful. (This was the week the AC was out in the school, so there is some audio distortion as Eli was battling the giant fans all around us.) Key Theme: The best…

In this sermon we look at the churches in Ephesus and Laodecia. Here we see how easy it is to lose our spiritual vitality and develop cold hearts. Main Point: The greatest need you have right now is more of the love of Jesus in your life.

If you are following along with our Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies, this week we are listening to Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ second sermon on Psalm 1. Here he focuses on the word chaff. In this sermon he repeats that word 61x’s. His goal is for you to not want to be chaff. His 5 main differences…

What is a healthy church? Over the next few weeks, we will move into a new section of Revelation. We are looking at Jesus’ evaluation of the churches in Revelation 2 and 3. In this section, Jesus gives the seven churches in Asia Minor a 360-degree review. The central question we will wrestle with is…

This summer our men’s and women’s bible studies will both be doing a series on Psalm 1 by Martyn Lloyd-Jones called: True Happiness . We would love to have you follow along with us, even if you are not able to attend one of the groups.  The book is actually a series of sermons he preached…

Pictures are powerful. Revelation speaks to us in pictures.  But, one of the challenges for us is to make sense of those pictures.  A picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, but sometimes we need a thousand words to make sense of a picture.  One of Jesus’ primary goals in giving us Revelation is to…

The Wonderful Exchange This Sunday is Mother’s Day! To celebrate, we will be looking at what Revelation tells us about Jesus Christ. And it says a lot — so we will have to focus. In fact, in Revelation 1:5-6, John packs truck loads of theology into each word. For example, the phrase: “to him who…has…

Sermon Outline: Rev. 1:4-6 “John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler…

This week we begin a NEW sermon series titled: The Victory of Jesus and the Vision of Trinity.  For this series we will be taking snapshots from the book of Revelation, with a specific focus on how the images we see there, apply to us here.  Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the…
